Elbow to Knee Crunches

Abs Bodyweight

Description

Elbow to knee crunches are a variation of the traditional crunch exercise that intensifies the engagement of the abdominal muscles. Individuals lie on their back with knees bent and hands behind the head, then lift their upper body towards their knees while simultaneously bringing one elbow to the opposite knee. This exercise targets the rectus abdominis and obliques, promoting better core strength, stability, and overall abdominal definition when incorporated into a comprehensive workout routine.

How To

01 Lie back, knees bent, hands lightly behind your head
02 Brace your core, lift shoulders off the floor
03 Twist and drive your right elbow to your right knee
04 Extend the opposite leg as you twist
05 Alternate sides with control, don't yank your neck
